to barack obama. but face it, president obama already has a lead on those issues. he's been out on the campaign trail saying -- he still has the pull pit and the upper hand on this issue. mitt romney did himself no good-bye jumping the gun. i'm quiting peggy noonan who had been a cheer leader of mitt romney in many aspects. >> this was not a gaffe in any sense. you might want to call the russia thing a gaffe, except there's no indication that romney didn't fully believe it. this was planned, this was staged, this was the campaign saying this is what we must do today. >> no, no. i mean, they had hours and hours to think about this. remember, there was a supposed to be a partisan thing for 9/11. they actually lifted the embargo to get ahead of the news cycle. they were very much aware of what they were doing. the statement was signed off by romney himself according to the new york times. they knew what was happening and if it were a gaffe they would have backtracked today. they said we stand by it and c

president obama expected to land in cincinnati at any moment. it is his 12th visit to ohio where he's currently leading governor romney in the state that history shows is a must-win for any republican seeking the white house. governor romney is going big, trying to sharpen his economic message amidst a political article that takes us inside how the romney campaign stumbled.

this is the form of president obama's resolve. it's a resolve the american government can and should kill those it believes to be its enemies and it's taken the precise shape and included the fire power of the unmanned aerial drone. that resolve, some believe, may not be lawful, but it is definitely forceful. it's almost ruthless. and we now think it's part of what led to the attacks in benghazi which is not to say it's the wrong thing to do. that's a more complicated question. but it is to say that the idea that more assertive application of american power will lead to less violence against america is a hard idea to find evidence for in recent history. and so the question for governor romney is what exact form his resolve would take such it would simultaneously be more effective and encourage less backlash from the terrorists who feel their power is slipping away? joining me now is associate editor at the "washington post" and someone i'm proud to call a colleague. it's good to see you. so you know all of this 100 times better th

and it's a day of shame for the obama administration. we are a place of freedom, here and around the world, and we should stand up and defend freedom wherever it is under attack. >> a dark day, a day of shame, he said. mr. romney made those remarks at about 2:00 in the afternoon on may 3rd. and they drew an almost immediate rebuke from even staunch conservatives, like, for example, bill kristol, that very same afternoon. >> i mean, i'm happy to be critical of the obama administration, as anyone is, but i think this is an awfully fast-moving story, and if i was advising governor romney, i would say, you don't need to get in the middle of this story. to inject yourself in the middle of it, when there were all kinds of negotiations going on, and a fast-moving story, i think it's foolish. there's no reason to inject yourself in and say it's a day of shame for the obama administration. hillary clinton's waking up right now. let's see if she can pull this off in the next 12 hours or not. >> turns out secretary clinton was able to pull it off.
